Very fine warning to Obama, not to let the generals dictate US foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia. LBJ ruined his presidency by listening to the siren calls of the generals about "victory" in Vietnam - - an absurd concept in the curcumstances. General McChrystal seems incapable of understanding that Iran is trying to prevent the Taliban from returning to power in Kabul, and Iran says the US troops are making things worse, not better.

Biden and Kerry will serve the president well if they convince him a smaller US military footprint is needed in Afghanistan. Let Iran, Russia, India, and China work out the best way to bring stability of even a minimum sort to Afghanistan.
